Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of electronic technology, specifically to a touch control method, a mobile terminal, and a computer-readable storage medium. Background Technology

[0002] With technological advancements, touch technology has largely replaced button controls on mobile devices. Interactions such as input, interface switching, and swiping can all be accomplished using touch technology. Touch technology has brought immense convenience to users.

[0003] Large-screen phones offer a better user experience, leading to a growing trend towards larger screens in mobile devices. However, this larger screen also brings the challenge of less convenient touch operation. Users have limited hand size, especially when operating with one hand, making some touch areas difficult to reach, such as the close button in the upper right corner, the back button in the upper left corner, or floating controls located at the edge. Therefore, large-screen mobile devices also present the problem of less convenient touch operation. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application provides a touch control method, a mobile terminal, and a computer-readable storage medium, enabling users to quickly and conveniently control a large-screen mobile terminal.

[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application provides a touch control method applied to a mobile terminal, the touch control method comprising the following steps:

[0006] When a touch operation is triggered in a preset area, the touch rules corresponding to the preset area are obtained. The preset area is a touch area other than the current display interface of the mobile terminal, and the touch rules corresponding to the preset area are different from the touch rules corresponding to the current display interface of the mobile terminal.

[0007] The display interface is controlled based on the touch operation and the touch rules.

[0008] Optionally, the preset area is the back side opposite to the display interface; or,

[0026] The swipe operation is associated with at least one of the following: the currently displayed interface switching control, the marker control, the move control, and the progress adjustment control.

[0027] Optionally, when the current display interface shows the desktop where the application is located, the step of controlling the display interface based on the touch operation and the touch rules includes:

[0028] The application corresponding to the touch operation is determined based on the association between the touch operation and at least one application of the currently displayed interface;

[0029] Control the switching of the currently displayed interface to the interface of the application.

[0030] Optionally, the step of controlling the display interface based on the touch operation and the touch rules includes:

[0031] The function corresponding to the touch operation is determined based on the display content of the current display interface and the touch rules;

[0032] Control the currently displayed interface to perform the function.

[0033] Optionally, the touch method further includes:

[0040] As described above, the touch control method of this application is applied to a mobile terminal. When a touch operation is triggered in a preset area, the display interface is controlled based on the touch rules corresponding to the preset area and the touch operation. In this embodiment, the preset area is a touch area other than the current display interface of the mobile terminal. When the user holds the mobile terminal, other fingers can touch the position of the preset area. Thus, triggering a touch operation based on the preset area provides convenience for operation and enables fast and convenient touch control of the display interface. Furthermore, the touch rules corresponding to the preset area in this embodiment are different from the touch rules corresponding to the current display interface of the mobile terminal. Therefore, the same touch operation performs different touch functions in different touch areas, allowing for the setting of more touch functions, all of which improve the convenience of the mobile terminal's touch function.

[0059] In the following description, the use of suffixes such as "module," "part," or "unit" to denote elements is solely for the purpose of illustrative purposes and has no specific meaning in itself. Therefore, "module," "part," or "unit" may be used interchangeably.

[0060] Mobile terminals can be implemented in various forms. For example, the mobile terminals described in this application may include mobile terminals such as mobile phones, tablets, laptops, handheld computers, personal digital assistants (PDAs), portable media players (PMPs), navigation devices, wearable devices, smart bracelets, pedometers, etc., as well as fixed terminals such as digital TVs and desktop computers.

[0061] The following description will use a mobile terminal as an example. Those skilled in the art will understand that, apart from elements specifically designed for mobile purposes, the construction according to the embodiments of this application can also be applied to fixed-type terminals.

[0062] Please see Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the hardware structure of a mobile terminal implementing various embodiments of this application. The mobile terminal 100 may include: an RF (Radio Frequency) unit 101, a WiFi module 102, an audio output unit 103, an A / V (Audio / Video) input unit 104, a sensor 105, a display unit 106, a user input unit 107, an interface unit 108, a memory 109, a processor 110, and a power supply 111, etc. Those skilled in the art will understand that... Figure 1 The mobile terminal structure shown does not constitute a limitation on the mobile terminal. The mobile terminal may include more or fewer components than shown, or combine certain components, or have different component arrangements.

[0063] The following is combined with Figure 1 A detailed introduction to each component of the mobile terminal:

[0064] The radio frequency unit 101 can be used for receiving and transmitting signals during information transmission or calls. Specifically, it receives downlink information from the base station and processes it with the processor 110; additionally, it transmits uplink data to the base station. Typically, the radio frequency unit 101 includes, but is not limited to, an antenna, at least one amplifier, a transceiver, a coupler, a low-noise amplifier, and a duplexer. Furthermore, the radio frequency unit 101 can also communicate wirelessly with networks and other devices. The aforementioned wireless communications may use any communication standard or protocol, including but not limited to GSM (Global System of Mobile communication), GPRS (General Packet Radio Service), CDMA2000 (Code Division Multiple Access 2000), WCDMA (Wideband Code Division Multiple Access), TD-SCDMA (Time Division-Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access), FDD-LTE (Frequency Division Duplexing-Long Term Evolution), and TDD-LTE (Time Division Duplexing-Long Term Evolution).

[0065] WiFi is a short-range wireless transmission technology. Mobile terminals, through the WiFi module 102, can help users send and receive emails, browse web pages, and access streaming media, providing users with wireless broadband internet access. Although Figure 1 WiFi module 102 is shown, but it is understood that it is not a necessary component of a mobile terminal and can be omitted as needed without changing the nature of the invention.

[0066] The audio output unit 103 can convert audio data received by the radio frequency unit 101 or the WiFi module 102 or stored in the memory 109 into audio signals and output them as sound when the mobile terminal 100 is in call signal receiving mode, call mode, recording mode, voice recognition mode, broadcast receiving mode, etc. Furthermore, the audio output unit 103 can also provide audio output related to specific functions performed by the mobile terminal 100 (e.g., call signal receiving sound, message receiving sound, etc.). The audio output unit 103 may include a speaker, a buzzer, etc.

[0067] The A / V input unit 104 is used to receive audio or video signals. The A / V input unit 104 may include a graphics processing unit (GPU) 1041 and a microphone 1042. The GPU 1041 processes image data of still images or videos acquired by an image capture device (such as a camera) in video capture mode or image capture mode. The processed image frames can be displayed on the display unit 106. The image frames processed by the GPU 1041 can be stored in the memory 109 (or other storage medium) or transmitted via the radio frequency unit 101 or the WiFi module 102. The microphone 1042 can receive sound (audio data) in operating modes such as telephone call mode, recording mode, and voice recognition mode, and can process such sound into audio data. The processed audio (voice) data can be converted into a format that can be transmitted to a mobile communication base station via the radio frequency unit 101 in telephone call mode. The microphone 1042 can implement various types of noise cancellation (or suppression) algorithms to eliminate (or suppress) noise or interference generated during the reception and transmission of audio signals.

[0068] The mobile terminal 100 also includes at least one sensor 105, such as a light sensor, a motion sensor, and other sensors. Specifically, the light sensor includes an ambient light sensor and a proximity sensor. Optionally, the ambient light sensor can adjust the brightness of the display panel 1061 according to the ambient light level, and the proximity sensor can turn off the display panel 1061 and / or backlight when the mobile terminal 100 is moved to the ear. As a type of motion sensor, the accelerometer sensor can detect the magnitude of acceleration in various directions (generally three axes), and can detect the magnitude and direction of gravity when stationary. It can be used for applications that recognize the phone's posture (such as landscape / portrait switching, related games, magnetometer posture calibration), vibration recognition related functions (such as pedometer, tapping), etc. Other sensors that may be configured in the phone, such as fingerprint sensors, pressure sensors, iris sensors, molecular sensors, gyroscopes, barometers, hygrometers, thermometers, and infrared sensors, will not be described in detail here.

[0069] The display unit 106 is used to display information input by the user or information provided to the user. The display unit 106 may include a display panel 1061, which may be configured in the form of a liquid crystal display (LCD), an organic light-emitting diode (OLED), or the like.

[0070] User input unit 107 can be used to receive input numerical or character information, and generate key signal inputs related to user settings and function control of the mobile terminal. Specifically, user input unit 107 may include touch panel 1071 and other input devices 1072. Touch panel 1071, also known as touch screen, can collect touch operations on or near the user (such as operations performed by the user using a finger, stylus, or any suitable object or accessory on or near touch panel 1071), and drive corresponding connection devices according to a pre-set program. Touch panel 1071 may include two parts: touch detection device and touch controller. Optionally, touch detection device detects the user's touch position and the signal generated by the touch operation, and transmits the signal to touch controller; touch controller receives touch information from touch detection device, converts it into touch point coordinates, sends it to processor 110, and can receive and execute commands from processor 110. In addition, touch panel 1071 can be implemented using various types such as resistive, capacitive, infrared, and surface acoustic wave. In addition to the touch panel 1071, the user input unit 107 may also include other input devices 1072. Specifically, other input devices 1072 may include, but are not limited to, one or more of the following: physical keyboard, function keys (such as volume control buttons, power buttons, etc.), trackball, mouse, joystick, etc., without being limited here.

[0071] Furthermore, the touch panel 1071 may cover the display panel 1061. When the touch panel 1071 detects a touch operation on or near it, it transmits the information to the processor 110 to determine the type of touch event. Subsequently, the processor 110 provides corresponding visual output on the display panel 1061 based on the type of touch event. Although in Figure 1 In this embodiment, the touch panel 1071 and the display panel 1061 are two independent components to realize the input and output functions of the mobile terminal. However, in some embodiments, the touch panel 1071 and the display panel 1061 can be integrated to realize the input and output functions of the mobile terminal. The specific implementation is not limited here.

[0072] Interface unit 108 serves as an interface through which at least one external device can connect to mobile terminal 100. For example, the external device may include a wired or wireless headset port, an external power supply (or battery charger) port, a wired or wireless data port, a memory card port, a port for connecting a device with an identification module, an audio input / output (I / O) port, a video I / O port, a headphone port, and so on. Interface unit 108 may be used to receive input (e.g., data, power, etc.) from the external device and transmit the received input to one or more elements within mobile terminal 100, or it may be used to transmit data between mobile terminal 100 and the external device.

[0073] The memory 109 can be used to store software programs and various data. The memory 109 may primarily include a program storage area and a data storage area. Optionally, the program storage area may store the operating system, applications required for at least one function (such as sound playback, image playback, etc.), etc.; the data storage area may store data created based on the use of the mobile phone (such as audio data, phonebook, etc.). Furthermore, the memory 109 may include high-speed random access memory, and may also include non-volatile memory, such as at least one disk storage device, flash memory device, or other volatile solid-state storage device.

[0074] The processor 110 is the control center of the mobile terminal. It connects various parts of the mobile terminal via various interfaces and lines. By running or executing software programs and / or modules stored in the memory 109, and by calling data stored in the memory 109, it performs various functions and processes data of the mobile terminal, thereby providing overall monitoring of the mobile terminal. The processor 110 may include one or more processing units; preferably, the processor 110 may integrate an application processor and a modem processor. Optionally, the application processor mainly handles the operating system, user interface, and applications, while the modem processor mainly handles wireless communication. It is understood that the modem processor may not be integrated into the processor 110.

[0075] The mobile terminal 100 may also include a power supply 111 (such as a battery) that supplies power to various components. Preferably, the power supply 111 can be logically connected to the processor 110 through a power management system, thereby enabling functions such as charging, discharging, and power consumption management through the power management system.

[0076] although Figure 1 As not shown, the mobile terminal 100 may also include a Bluetooth module, etc., which will not be described in detail here.

[0077] To facilitate understanding of the embodiments of this application, the communication network system on which the mobile terminal of this application is based is described below.

[0078] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 2 This application provides a communication network system architecture diagram. The communication network system is an LTE system based on the universal mobile communication technology. The LTE system includes a UE (User Equipment) 201, an E-UTRAN (Evolved UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access Network) 202, an EPC (Evolved Packet Core) 203, and the operator's IP services 204, which are connected in sequence.

[0079] Specifically, UE201 can be the aforementioned terminal 100, which will not be elaborated here.

[0080] E-UTRAN202 includes eNodeB2021 and other eNodeB2022, etc. Optionally, eNodeB2021 can connect to other eNodeB2022 via backhaul (e.g., X2 interface), and eNodeB2021 connects to EPC203, providing access from UE201 to EPC203.

[0081] EPC203 may include MME (Mobility Management Entity) 2031, HSS (Home Subscriber Server) 2032, other MMEs 2033, SGW (Serving Gateway) 2034, PGW (Packet Data Network Gateway) 2035, and PCRF (Policy and Charging Rules Function) 2036, etc. Optionally, MME2031 is the control node that handles signaling between UE201 and EPC203, providing bearer and connection management. HSS2032 is used to provide registers to manage functions such as the Home Location Register (not shown in the figure) and stores user-specific information such as service characteristics and data rates. All user data can be sent through SGW2034. PGW2035 can provide UE 201 IP address allocation and other functions. PCRF2036 is the policy and charging control decision point for service data flow and IP bearer resources. It selects and provides available policy and charging control decisions for the policy and charging enforcement function unit (not shown in the figure).

[0082] IP services 204 may include the Internet, intranet, IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem), or other IP services.

[0083] Although the above description uses the LTE system as an example, those skilled in the art should understand that this application is not only applicable to the LTE system, but also to other wireless communication systems, such as GSM, CDMA2000, WCDMA, TD-SCDMA, and future new network systems, etc., which are not limited here.

[0084] Based on the above-described mobile terminal hardware structure and communication network system, various embodiments of this application are proposed.

[0085] First embodiment:

[0086] Please refer to the details. Figure 3 The touch method includes the following steps:

[0087] Step S10: When a touch operation is triggered in a preset area, the touch rules corresponding to the preset area are obtained. The preset area is a touch area other than the current display interface of the mobile terminal, and the touch rules corresponding to the preset area are different from the touch rules corresponding to the current display interface of the mobile terminal.

[0088] Step S20: Control the display interface based on the touch operation and the touch rules.

[0089] Optionally, the preset area is the back side opposite to the display interface. For example, if the touch method in this embodiment is applied to a mobile terminal, the mobile terminal includes a display, and both the front and back of the display screen are touchscreens. Users can trigger touch operations based on the front of the display screen or the back of the display screen; in this embodiment, the preset area is the back of the display screen.

[0090] Alternatively, please refer to Figure 4 The mobile terminal includes a foldable screen 30, which comprises a main screen 31 and a secondary screen 32. The front and back of both the main screen 31 and the secondary screen 32 are touchscreens. Users can trigger touch operations from either the main screen 31 or the secondary screen 32. In this embodiment, the preset area is the side of the secondary screen 32 furthest from the main screen 31; specifically, after the secondary screen 32 is folded away from the main screen 31, the preset area is the side of the secondary screen 32 furthest from the main screen 31.

[0091] In this embodiment, when a user triggers a touch operation based on the preset area, the current display interface of the mobile terminal is controlled based on the touch rules corresponding to the preset area. The current display interface of the mobile terminal refers to the interface currently used by the mobile terminal to display images. For example, if the mobile terminal is a single-screen display, the front of the display is the current display interface (no images are displayed on the back of the mobile terminal); if the mobile terminal is a foldable screen 30, when the foldable screen 30 is in a folded state, such as... Figure 4 The main screen 31 of the foldable screen 30, facing the user, is the current display interface of the mobile terminal. When the foldable screen 30 is in the unfolded state, the main screen 31 and the secondary screen 31, facing the user, are the current display interfaces of the mobile terminal.

[0092] It should be noted that when using a mobile phone, users generally hold it in their hand. If operating it with one hand, it can usually only be operated using the thumb (e.g., Figure 4(As shown). In large-screen mobile phones, some touch areas are difficult for the thumb to reach, such as the close control in the upper right corner, the back control in the upper left corner, or floating modules located at the edge. These often require the assistance of the other hand for operation. If the other hand is holding something or doing something else, touch operation is impossible, affecting the user experience. In this case, this embodiment, based on the fact that the mobile terminal's display screen has touch functionality on both sides, provides users with the ability to control the current display interface using other fingers by setting touch rules on the back side of the screen. Thus, when operating the mobile terminal with one hand, users can easily control the current display interface by operating on the back of the touchscreen with other fingers. This embodiment is based on the fact that the area that other fingers can touch is much larger than the area that the thumb can touch, and the touch rules are different on different sides of the display screen. Therefore, the same touch operation corresponds to different touch functions in different touch areas, allowing for the setting of more touch functions, all of which improve the convenience of the mobile terminal's touch functionality.

[0093] Optionally, in this embodiment, the touch rules corresponding to the preset area include at least one of the following:

[0094] The touch operation is associated with at least one function of the current display interface. For example, the touch operation is associated with at least one of switching, closing, and adjusting the current display interface. Thus, based on the touch operation and the association between the touch operation and at least one function of the current display interface, the current display interface can be controlled to perform the function accordingly.

[0095] The touch operation is associated with at least one functional control of the current display interface; for example, the touch operation is associated with at least one of the close control, exit control, open control and confirm control of the current display interface. In this way, the current display interface can be controlled to execute the functional control based on the touch operation and the association relationship between the touch operation and at least one functional control of the current display interface.

[0096] The touch operation is associated with at least one application on the currently displayed interface. For example, the touch operation may be associated with applications such as WeChat, QQ, phone, SMS, Weibo, or a media player on the currently displayed interface. Thus, based on the touch operation and its association with at least one application on the currently displayed interface, the opening or closing of the application on the currently displayed interface can be controlled accordingly.

[0097] Optionally, since both the front and back of the mobile terminal's display screen have touch functionality, to prevent accidental touches on the back of the display screen during user operation, thus avoiding erroneous operations and affecting usability, this embodiment improves the accuracy of user touch recognition in the preset area by pre-setting touch conditions for the preset area, thereby avoiding accidental touches. When a touch signal is detected in the preset area, the touch parameters corresponding to the touch signal are obtained; it is determined whether the touch parameters meet the preset touch conditions. If they do, a touch operation is triggered in the preset area, and the touch rules corresponding to the preset area are obtained. Based on the touch rules and the touch operation, the corresponding action is executed.

[0098] The touch parameters include at least one of touch area and touch region shape.

[0099] Accordingly, the preset touch conditions may include, but are not limited to, the following:

[0100] If the touch area is less than or equal to a preset threshold, and the touch area is too large, it is determined to be a hand holding the mobile terminal (when a user holds a phone, the back of the phone is largely the area held by the hand), rather than a touch operation. Therefore, only when a small area of ​​touch signal is detected is it determined to be a touch operation, which can reduce false alarms.

[0101] The shape of the touch area is a preset shape, or the shape of the touch area matches the touch shape corresponding to the touch operation mapped in the touch rules. For example, the preset shape is a "V" shape, "S" shape, "X" shape, etc. If a user performs a touch operation of such a shape on a mobile terminal, it is determined that the shape of the touch area is a preset shape, or the correspondence between the touch shape corresponding to the touch operation and the corresponding function, function key, or application is pre-defined in the touch rules, and a match is determined by comparing the shape of the touch area with the touch shape in the preset rules.

[0102] Optionally, if the touch parameter is a touch area, then the touch parameter is determined to meet the touch condition when the touch area is less than or equal to a preset threshold. If the touch parameter is a touch region, then the touch parameter is determined to meet the touch condition when the shape of the touch region is a preset shape; or, the touch parameter is determined to meet the touch condition when the shape of the touch region matches the touch shape corresponding to the touch operation mapped in the touch rules. Alternatively, if the touch parameter includes both touch area and touch region, then the touch parameter is determined to meet the touch condition when any of the touch parameters meets the corresponding touch condition, thus improving sensitivity. Alternatively, if the duration for which one of the touch parameters meets the corresponding touch condition is less than a preset duration, then it is determined whether the other touch parameter meets the corresponding touch condition; if it does, then the touch parameter is determined to meet the touch condition.

[0103] In an optional embodiment, the touch parameters may further include touch length, such as the sliding length in a swipe touch operation. When the touch length is greater than or equal to a preset length, it is determined that the touch parameters meet the touch conditions, and at this time, the touch action corresponding to the preset area is executed.

[0104] Optionally, when a touch signal is detected, it is determined whether the touch signal was detected in the preset area based on the location where the touch signal was detected. The determination of triggering a touch operation in the preset area is illustrated using a capacitive touchscreen as an example:

[0105] The mobile terminal's touchscreen includes a first data collector and a second data collector. The first data collector is located on the front of the touchscreen to collect touch data, while the second data collector is located on the back of the touchscreen to collect touch data. (If it is a foldable screen, two first data collectors and two second data collectors are used, with the first data collectors located on the front of the main screen and the secondary screen, and the second data collectors located on the back of the main screen and the secondary screen). Both the first and second data collectors are always powered on to support touch operation. Thus, even if the circuitry on the back of the touchscreen is damaged, the second data collector can still collect touch feature data, thereby determining the touch signal and touch operation. Therefore, when the second data collector collects touch feature data, or when the second data collector on the back of the secondary screen (away from the main screen) collects touch feature data, it can be determined that a touch operation has been triggered in a preset area.

[0106] Combined with reference Figure 5The data acquisition unit includes X1, X2...Xn transmitting channels and Y1, Y2...Yn receiving channels. The transmitting channels emit scanning voltage signals, and the receiving channels receive scanning data. The processor converts the scanning data received by the receiving channels into capacitance feature data, and then determines touch feature data based on the capacitance feature data, thereby determining a touch signal and a touch operation based on the touch signal. Capacitive touchscreens have high sensitivity, thus improving touch sensitivity.

[0107] Optionally, the touch rules corresponding to the preset area in this embodiment can be based on user-defined settings. For example, touch operations can be customized to open or close frequently used applications. When the terminal detects the user's settings, it associates the touch operation with the corresponding application, function, or touch control to establish the touch rules. This allows the corresponding touch function to be executed based on the touch rules and the touch operation. This significantly improves the convenience and flexibility of the terminal.

[0108] Second embodiment:

[0109] This embodiment is based on the first embodiment described above. Optionally, please refer to... Figure 6 When the touch rule is that the touch operation is associated with at least one function of the current display interface, the step of controlling the display interface based on the touch operation and the touch rule includes:

[0110] Step S21: Determine the function corresponding to the touch operation based on the association between the touch operation and at least one function of the current display interface;

[0111] Step S22: Control the currently displayed interface to perform the function.

[0112] Optionally, when the mobile terminal's current display screen shows an application interface, that is, when the mobile terminal opens the main interface or a function interface of an application, the user usually wants to perform some routine operations on this interface, such as closing the current display screen, adjusting the size or content of the current display screen, or switching the display screen. Therefore, in this embodiment, touch operations are associated with at least one function of the display screen based on touch rules. When a touch operation is triggered in a preset area, the function corresponding to the touch operation is determined based on the preset association between the touch operation and the function of the current display screen, and then the current display screen is controlled to execute the function.

[0113] Optionally, the way in which the touch operation is associated with at least one function of the current display interface includes at least one of the following:

[0114] The tapping operation is associated with closing the current display interface and / or switching the current display interface. The tapping operation includes single-click, double-click, etc. Specifically, a single-click can be associated with closing the current display interface; a double-click with switching the current display interface; or a single-click can be associated with switching the current display interface, and a double-click with closing the current display interface.

[0115] The swipe operation is associated with switching the current display interface and / or adjusting the current display interface. Adjusting the current display interface includes adjusting at least one of the following: the size and content of the current display interface.

[0116] Specifically, if the function corresponding to the tapping operation is to close the current display interface, and the touch operation triggered in the preset area is a tapping operation, the current display interface will be directly closed or switched. Swiping operations include relative swipes and directional swipes. For example, a swipe with a relative direction is a relative swipe (triggered when two fingers swipe relative to each other), and a swipe with a single direction is a directional swipe (triggered when one finger swipes). This implementation can set different touch rules based on the type of swipe operation. For example, relative swipes can be associated with zooming in or out of the current display interface, and directional swipes can be associated with switching the current display interface. Thus, based on the detected type of swipe operation, it is determined whether to switch the current display interface or adjust the current display interface.

[0117] This embodiment allows for simple control of the current display interface through tapping or swiping operations, improving ease of operation.

[0118] Third embodiment:

[0119] This embodiment is based on either the first or second embodiment described above. Optionally, please refer to... Figure 7 When the touch rule is that the touch operation is associated with at least one functional control of the current display interface, the step of controlling the display interface based on the touch operation and the touch rule includes:

[0120] Step S23: Determine the functional control corresponding to the touch operation based on the association between the touch operation and at least one functional control of the current display interface;

[0121] Step S24: Control the currently displayed interface to execute the function corresponding to the function control.

[0122] When the mobile terminal displays an application interface, that is, when the mobile terminal opens the main interface or a specific function interface of an application, the interface has different functional controls, and different functional controls control and execute different functions. To facilitate user touch operation, this embodiment can also directly map touch operations in a preset area to the functional controls on the display interface. Thus, when a touch operation is triggered in the preset area, the user can directly touch the functional control mapped to the touch operation, causing the mobile terminal to control the display interface to execute the function corresponding to that functional control.

[0123] Optionally, the way in which the touch operation is associated with at least one functional control of the currently displayed interface includes at least one of the following:

[0124] A click operation is associated with at least one of the following: a close control, an exit control, an open control, and a confirm control. That is, when a click operation is triggered in a preset area, the function corresponding to at least one of the following functional controls on the currently displayed interface is executed. Optionally, in the touch rule settings corresponding to the preset area, a click operation can be associated with any one of the following controls: close control, exit control, open control, and confirm control. Thus, when a click operation is triggered in the preset area, the function corresponding to one of the controls is executed based on the association between the click operation and the control. Alternatively, a click operation can be associated with two or more of the following controls: close control, exit control, open control, and confirm control. When a click operation is triggered in the preset area, the target control is determined based on the display controls of the currently displayed interface. For example, when a click operation is triggered in the preset area, if the currently displayed interface has functional controls associated with the click operation, the current displayed interface is controlled to execute the function corresponding to the functional control. That is, if the functional controls associated with the click operation include a close control and a confirm control, and if the current displayed interface only has a close control and no confirm control, the function corresponding to the close control is executed. If the current display interface only has a confirm control and no close control, then the function corresponding to the confirm control will be executed. If the current display interface has both a confirm control and a close control, then the function corresponding to the control with higher priority will be executed based on the priority relationship between the controls. The priority of each control can be set by the user or determined based on recorded user habits.

[0125] The double-click operation is associated with a screenshot control and / or an interface adjustment control, the functions of which include zooming in and / or zooming out. That is, when a double-click operation is triggered in a preset area, the corresponding functions of the screenshot control and / or interface adjustment control on the currently displayed interface are executed.

[0126] The swipe operation is associated with at least one of the switching control, marking control, movement control, and progress adjustment control on the current display interface. That is, when a swipe operation is triggered in the preset area, the function corresponding to at least one of the switching control, marking control, movement control, and progress adjustment control on the current display interface is executed. Optionally, in the touch rule settings corresponding to the preset area, the swipe operation can be associated with any one of the switching control, marking control, movement control, and progress adjustment control. Thus, when a swipe operation is triggered in the preset area, the function corresponding to one of the controls is executed based on the association between the swipe operation and the control. Alternatively, the swipe operation can be associated with two or more of the switching control, marking control, movement control, and progress adjustment control. When an interactive operation is triggered in the preset area, the target function control corresponding to the swipe operation is determined based on the content display type of the current display interface. For example, the content display type includes at least one of editable content (such as a Word document), non-editable content (such as a PDF document), and video. If the content display type of the current display interface is editable content, then when a swipe operation is triggered in the preset area, the function corresponding to the marking control is executed. If the content displayed on the current screen is non-editable, then when a swipe operation is triggered in the preset area, the corresponding function of the switching or moving control will be executed. If the content displayed on the current screen is video, then when a swipe operation is triggered in the preset area, the corresponding function of the progress adjustment control will be executed.

[0127] This embodiment improves ease of use by allowing simple control of the current display interface through single-click, double-click, or swipe operations driven by preset parameters. Furthermore, by differentiating touch functions based on the controls available on the interface and the type of content displayed, the touch functionality of the mobile terminal can be enriched.

[0128] Optionally, this embodiment can be combined with the touch control of the second embodiment described above to further enrich the touch functions of the mobile terminal and improve the user experience. For example, when a touch operation is triggered in a preset area, it is determined whether the current display interface has a target functional control that matches the functional control associated with the touch operation in the preset touch rules. If so, the function corresponding to the target functional control is executed. If not, the function corresponding to the touch operation is determined based on the association between the touch operation and the function, and then the display interface is controlled to execute the function.

[0129] Fourth embodiment:

[0130] This embodiment is based on any of the above embodiments. Optionally, please refer to... Figure 8When the touch rule is that the touch operation is associated with at least one application of the currently displayed interface, the step of controlling the display interface based on the touch operation and the touch rule includes:

[0131] Step S25: Determine the application corresponding to the touch operation based on the association between the touch operation and at least one application of the currently displayed interface;

[0132] Step S26: Control the current display interface to switch to the application's interface.

[0133] Optionally, in this embodiment, the mobile terminal currently displays the desktop where the application is located, that is, the application is displayed on the current display screen instead of the application's interface. The user's current control needs for the mobile terminal are generally to quickly open a certain application. Therefore, in this embodiment, the touch rules corresponding to the preset area are set so that the touch operation is associated with at least one application on the current display screen. When the touch operation is received, the corresponding application is opened so that the current display screen switches to the interface of the application.

[0134] The touch operations include, but are not limited to, swiping and tapping. For example, a swipe operation corresponds to application A, a tap operation corresponds to application B, a double tap operation corresponds to application C, and so on. Touch operations triggered based on preset areas open the corresponding applications.

[0135] Alternatively, different sliding shapes can be associated with different applications. When a sliding action is triggered in a preset area, the corresponding sliding shape is identified, and the application is determined and opened based on that shape. For example, a "V" shaped sliding shape is associated with application A, an "S" shaped sliding shape with application B, and so on. In this way, users can control the opening of the corresponding application by triggering the corresponding sliding shape, allowing users to quickly open any application with one hand, improving operational convenience.

[0136] Optionally, this embodiment can combine the touch control of the second and third embodiments described above to further enrich the touch functions of the mobile terminal and improve the user experience. For example, when a touch operation is triggered in a preset area, the current display interface of the mobile terminal is identified; when the current display interface displays the interface of an application, the function corresponding to the touch operation is determined based on the association between the touch operation and at least one function of the current display interface, or the function control corresponding to the touch operation is determined based on the association between the touch operation and at least one functional control of the current display interface, thereby controlling the current display interface to execute the function or the function corresponding to the functional control. When the current display interface displays the desktop of an application, the application corresponding to the touch operation is determined based on the association between the touch operation and at least one application of the current display interface, thereby controlling the display interface to switch to the interface of the application. In this way, even if the touch operation is the same as a single click operation, the corresponding function executed is different when the display interface is different, realizing more touch control within a limited number of touch operations and enriching the touch functions of the mobile terminal.

[0137] Fifth embodiment:

[0138] This embodiment is based on any of the above embodiments. Optionally, please refer to... Figure 9 The step of controlling the display interface based on the touch operation and the touch rules includes:

[0139] Step S27: Determine the function corresponding to the touch operation based on the display content of the current display interface and the touch rules;

[0140] Step S28: Control the currently displayed interface to perform the function.

[0141] In this embodiment, the functions corresponding to touch operations determined based on the touch rules differ depending on the content displayed on the current display interface. This allows for flexible adaptation of control strategies based on the displayed content, improving the flexibility of touch operations.

[0142] Optionally, the displayed content includes at least one of video, image, and document. For the same touch operation, the function corresponding to the touch operation determined based on the touch rules will differ depending on the displayed content. For example, if the touch operation is a swipe operation and the current display interface shows a video, the function corresponding to the touch operation is to adjust the video progress; if the current display interface shows an image, the function corresponding to the touch operation is to switch images; or if the current display interface shows a document, the function corresponding to the touch operation is to mark the document or switch document pages, etc.

[0143] This embodiment determines the function corresponding to the touch operation based on the displayed content and the touch rules, which can improve the flexibility of touch operation. The embodiments listed above are one example of this embodiment, but are not limited to it. Other embodiments that are the same as or similar to this embodiment are also within the scope of protection of this embodiment, and will not be described again.
